Just that I think we should impose normalization of some form on the symbol table to avoid code written in different editors imposing different ideas of how to form a particular character. Take ệ (U+1EC7; LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND DOT BELOW ) as a case in point, a text editor could take that as one code point or break it down into one of four other combinations of code points.
